GLOSSARIY
Allegory
A story illustrating an idea or a moral principle in which objects take on symbolic meanings. In
Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy," Dante, symbolizing mankind, is taken by Virgil the poet on a
journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise in order to teach him the nature of sin and its
punishments, and the way to salvation.
Alliteration
Used for poetic effect, a repitition of the initial sounds of several words in a group. The following
line from Robert Frost's poem "Acquainted with the Night provides us with an example of
alliteration,":
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet."
The repitition of the s
sound creates a
sense of quiet, reinforcing the meaning of the line.
Allusion
A reference in one literary work to a character or theme found in another literary work. T. S. Eliot, in
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" alludes (refers) to the biblical figure John the Baptist in the
line
Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter, . . .
In the New
Testament, John the Baptist's head was presented to King Herod on a platter.
Ambiguity
A statement which can contain two or more meanings. For example, when
the oracle at Delphi told
Croesus that if he waged war on Cyrus he would destroy a great empire, Croesus thought the oracle
meant his enemy's empire. In fact, the empire Croesus destroyed by going to war was his own.
Analogue
A comparison between two similar things. In literature, a work which resembles another work either
fully or in part. If a work resembles another because it is
derived from the other, the original work is
called the
